The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released) — Page 548

As for “I am a Jedi,” I’ve played around with it and it’s almost almost there but not quite. There’s a slight hum on one of the phonemes that’s a product of how crossfading audio works that I haven’t been able to find a way to correct without making the overall mix worse in the process. In any other line of dialogue I wouldn’t worry about something like that, but this is the climax of the whole movie and there’s no music or SFX to mask it, so.

Do you plan on changing the colour palette based on the recent change for the Disney+ release? 😃

Almost all of that is top notch work. Well done everyone. Truly amazing stuff.

My one reservation is “Captain Hux”. Still sounds a little too spliced together for my liking. I’m curious to hear how others feel about it, though.

Agreed with Jar Jar. Captain Hux isn’t seamless enough to pass yet imo.

I wonder if it might sound more natural, should no other option be available, by removing the “Hux.” Kylo says “Captain?” and Hux timidly answers, still getting the point across. Maybe with a slightly longer pause before “Captain?” in this scenario.

I never minded him being General, personally, though I appreciate the idea behind the demotion.

Puppet show is excellent btw.

Nah, the LUTs already in use are better, if I remember right.

Here’s two clips. The finished puppet show and conference room (complete with “Captain Hux”).

If you’re after feedback on the stormtrooper lines, they’re a little loud and not very integrated into the scene. A mild touch of hallway or plate reverb and a bit lower in the mix and they’ll be about perfect. Just my $0.02𝇍!

Agreed, skenera’s LUTs are way better than anything Disney has put out. And wow, I forgot how incredible that puppet show is. Brilliant, brilliant work.

I do agree with Jar Jar that “Captain-Hux” still feels a bit off though. I’d love to hear a version with just “Captain.”

EDIT: Regarding the stormtrooper lines, if that’s taken from my original submission, I did leave four out of the six audio channels to preserve as much background noise as possible. That said, Hal, if you’d like to remix it I won’t be offended. And if you need me to resend the WAV file with the lines, just let me know.

Phenomenal. Both of those clips. 👍
I agree about the Captain Hux line, though not sure if anything could be done about.

However one thing I know we’ve all discussed to death in the past is this film’s concept of amassing an enormous fleet of star destroyers seemingly out of thin air, I recall us experimenting with a line for Poe pulled from the Resistance show about ‘relics of a bygone era’ but we couldn’t get it to work. After seeing the conference scene again I’m now wondering if the simplest solution would be to somehow remove Pryde’s line about ‘conjuring legions’ What do you guys think?

Guys, what about the island scene? What’s left to complete it?

According to the front page:

  • Leia sensing the end of her Jedi path. Sherlockpotter was working on it earlier this week and it seems to be going along well. The v4 is sounding really great.

  • Luke’s haircut. Jonh has been gone since May, probably busy with real life, but last we heard he was still working on it.

It sounds amazing! Could you please PM me a link?

Thanks, Neerb!

I think Sherlock’s work is superb in this part, i really can’t see how it can be improved.
About the haircut, as Jonh is prob super busy, won’t be better if we just proceed with the scene without the haircut for now and leave to a future V2.1 or something?

Also, anyone has news on MR? Been a while since he last showed up.

There has been a little talk before about possibly doing a “v1.5” later in the year, but that’s all ultimately up to Hal, both with his satisfaction with the project and his availability to work on it. Some of this stuff is pretty close to completion, though, so maybe a bit more patience would be best (or a few more talented volunteers, and fewer peanut-gallery members like myself).

The crackling saber has proven especially challenging, passing through several hands due to the scale of the project and irl personal priorities. Movies Remastered at least is still active on the forum, but I’m not sure if they’ve had time to work on it lately, or how much is left to be done on the project as a whole.

Will the epic force ghost ending be updated in any way based on jon_h’s recent progress? 😃

I do hope he gets back and exports the V3 that adds Leia, Qui-Gon, Mace Windu and Ahsoka.

Also, I don’t know how possible it is to have Anakin be portrayed by Sebastian Shaw instead of Hayden Christensen.

Is this viewable anywhere? It sounds really cool.

I sure hope we don’t have mace and ahsoka etc… it breaks the lore.

Plus, even though we don’t know how Ahsoka died yet, she clearly is dead since you hear her voice, along with Mace Windu give Rey advice. And I don’t think anyone is going to go by the fan theory that Windu survived his fall.

Hal has already stated before that he just wants to include only the “Phantom Four” (Luke, Anakin, Ben, Yoda)

I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.
